DESSERTS TO SATISFY THAT SWEET TOOTH – UPPER KEYS TABLE

In those instances when you may have left a little extra room for dessert, don’t forget these sweet treats from restaurants and local shops.

KEY LARGO & KEYS CHOCOLATES

What’s a dinner night out or a weekend without a visit to Key Largo Chocolates or Keys Chocolates in Islamorada? Answer: It’s not as sweet. There’s plenty of chocolates and ice cream selections to satisfy all the taste buds. But there might not be a sweeter treat than the Key lime pie on a stick.

SPARKY’S SWEET TREATS 

Sparky’s Sweet Treats shop brings kids and parents’ ice cream concoction imaginations to life. Located at the Waldorf plaza in Key Largo next to Subway, tasty treats like cookies and ice cream are even available for dogs. Enjoy a frozen treat inside an invigorating, kid-friendly atmosphere containing pool tables, games and Wifi.

LORELEI RESTAURANT & CABANA BAR

Enjoying a meal during a nice day or a picturesque sunset? End your dining experience with Lorelei’s famous frozen Key lime pie. It’s creamy and whipped, and it’s less tart than your typical Key lime pie. It’s topped with mango sauce and whipped cream.
